Check the Time Base readout at the lower right of the display to see the
time/division settings and the time base (main or delayed) being referred to. (See
Figure 3–7. Also see Figure 3–5 on page 3–15.) Since all live waveforms use the
same time base, the oscilloscope only displays one time base and time/division
setting for all the active channels.

The TDS Oscilloscope provides control of horizontal position and scale using
the horizontal front panel knobs.
By changing the horizontal position, you can move the waveform right or left to
see different portions of the waveform. That is particularly useful when you are
using larger record sizes and cannot view the entire waveform on one screen.
To change the horizontal scale and position:
1. Turn the horizontal POSITION and horizontal SCALE knobs. (See
Figure 3–8.)
